People associated with these bodies relied on one another due to their career history, mutual associations and political situation after 1945. The relationships were evident in completing the multiple projects in the academic field, and in building the émigré community. PUNO also relied on the knowledge of the librarians, such as Dr. Chowaniec, Director of the Polish Library in Paris, and Dr. Danilewicz-Zielińska, Coordinator of the Polish Library in London, while conducting research. Later on this cooperation was carried on by PUNO graduate Dr. Jagodziński. The relations between both libraries and PUNO enabled all these institutions to develop into leading cultural establishments which cherished political independence outside the communist-dominated Poland.}, doi = {10.4467/20844069PH.18.006.7568}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/prace-historyczne/article/o-wspolpracy-pracownikow-bibliotek-polskich-poza-granicami-kraju-z-polskim-uniwersytetem-na-obczyznie-w-latach-1952-1989} }
